By 1 BOB ROEMER Times Sports Writer LEXINGTON, Nov. 19-Washington and Lee, completing its A "PARENTS DAY" gathering liberally estimated at 1,000, was pared nearly in half by a halftime exodus, and only a couple hundred braved the biting wind and sloppy football to the bitter end.

A combination of Tech defense and L's lack of offense limited the punchless Generals to absolutely no net yardage and only one first down. They lost three fumbles to add to their agony. The Lexington lads had only one scoring opportunity and weren't able to do anything with it. The situation came up early in the game when Ike Smith, the Generals' 230- pound tackle, smeared quarterback Gene Hess for five-yard loss to the latter's five-yard line.

Hess fumbled and big Smitty landed on the ball for his second recovery of the first quarter. Washington and Lee quarterback Al Gitter promoted a couple of yards and fullback Don Stine added another to the two-yard line. Gitter then lost back to the four and Tom Moore, a big freshman end. loped in to try for a field goal. Moore's boot, hastened by a poor center pass and shaky placement of the ball, nearly hit one of his own linemen in the back of the head.

The "amateurs" never had a second opportunity. With Gitter and Pete sophomore quarterbacks, engineering the offense from a short punt formation, was able to generate only one first down for the entire distance. IT CAME A MINUTE before the half ended when Gitter. on two consecutive plays, reeled off four yards around end and six up the middle, advancing the ball from his 12 to 22. Tech found it difficult, too, to navigate in the mud, caused by a light snowfall last night.

The Bears from Montgomery, W. didn't negotiate a first down until the second quarter when they took off on their first touchdown march. Beginning on its own 36, Tech required 10 plays to dig in to the General 25. At that point, halfback Mike DiGennaro, a 173-pound journalism student out of Chicago, took the ball on reverse, whipped around right end and found wide open spaces all the way to the goal. Delmar Dixon's a hurried kick was no good.

In the last quarter still backed up against own goal, dipped into the old files for the "statue of liberty" play. Doyle faded, expecting someone to come circling around to take the ball. A couple of Techsters got to him first, though. Doyle went down and the ball skittered into the end zone where Tech guard Dave Freibert came out of a pileup in possession for a touchdown. Dixon converted.

WASHINGTON AND LEE showed a fairly stubborn defense with good tackling that no runs longer than DiGennero's touchdown sprint.

However, the school now has a football coach and until some changes are made nothing definite will be said about McKenna being in line for the job. Even then the VMI mentor might decide to remain in Lexington to teach the Keydets how football is supposed to be played. VMI is a grand school and wins a fair share of its athletic events over the year. Last season VMI clubs won 62 per cent of the competition with other schools. The football team won four while losing six games.

Scholarship money for football players at the Institute is spread pretty thin. Then too, the rugged life of a cadet fails to appeal to many scholastic stars who are looking forward to college. It adds up shortage when call goes out for the gridders to report for practice. If a coach's success is determined by wins and losses, McKenna is just a so-so teacher. If success is determined by effort and accomplishment while working under the handicap of manpower shortage and short practice hours -well, McKenna can be viewed in a different light.

He has done a remarkable job at the Institute. It would be Interesting to see how well he would do with an adequate squad and plenty of time in which to teach the sport.

The Virginia High School League is opposed to such out-season contests and can prohibit Virginia public school coaches from participating in the event. SPONSORED BY representatives of 35 civic organizations in Virginia Beach and Princess Anne County, the all-star game would feature only graduating seniors. "We are going ahead with our plans to promote the game for charitable purposes," B. M. Stanton, temporary chairman of the All-Star Contest Committee, said last night.

"Virginia is one of the few southern states that does not have an established high school all-star football game, for reason of restrictions of the league," Stanton declared tonight. ever, the plans being made for the Foreman Field event will not be contrary to these regulations, for reason that only graduating seniors will be selected for the game, and they will be playing in the summer after graduation. "We want the VHSL to sanction the game, but we definitely plan to with our plans even without the league's approval, with -state coaches handling the teams." The VHSL rule follows: No official or representative of a member school shall participate, either directly or indirectly, in the promotion, management, supervision, player selections, coaching or officiating of any contest involving so-called high school teams or squads; nor shall any member school permit facilities or equipment under its control to be used in any such test." Meanwhile, Stanton, confident that the problems confronting the committee can be worked out, revealed an elaborate program for the all-star game, including a football clinic to be held at Virginia Beach. A nationally-known college coach will be selected to conduct the clinic.

It is planned to have sports writers throughout the state to select two teams of 22 men each. representing east and west, for the all-star game. The two teams, which will be brought to Virginia Beach for training a week before the game, will also be used for demonstration purposes at the football clinic.

Randolph-Macon's only score came in the third quarter when speedy halfback Charley Nuttycombe took a lateral from halfback Bernie Pinchbeck on a Wasp kick and raced 65 yards to the end zone. The defeat, only the second for the Yellow Jackets against six victories and a tie, left Macon in a tie with Hampden- for the Little Seven title.

Both finished with 2-1 records. Despite Stevenson's long distance dash in the final stanza, Emory and Henry had to fight off a desperate a passing barrage in the fading moments of action to preserve the victory. With time running out, the Jackets caught fire on the passing of quarterback Phil Coppage and roared 54 yards before the Wasps stiffened and held for downs on their 15. Emory and Henry's rugged ground attack was the deciding factor in the game played on a muddy field. The Wasps piled up 279 yards rushing while their forwards held the Jackets to a mere 35.

Three quarters of the way through the first period, the Wasps moved to the Randolph- Macon 31 but Pinchthreat by intercepting Ray Chapman's pass on the Jacket 25.

Stevenson rammed to the 8, then to the 4, then to the 2, lost a yard to the 3, then cracked across. Irvin Cubine converted to put the Wasps in front 7-0. Randolph-Macon's tally came with dramatic suddenness in the third chapter. Chapman, punting for Emory and Henry, booted the ball to Pinchbeck on the Randolph-Macon 30. Pinch beck ahead five yards, lateraled Nuttycombe and the latter raced all the way down the right sidelines.

Pinchbeck split the uprights with his conversion to tie things up at 7-all. An abortive Randolph- -Macon drive fizzled on the Wasp 39 and Nuttycombe kicked out on the Emory and Henry 9. The Wasps then proceeded to move 91 yards to paydirt.

Bucks Beware That Army of Red Hunting Season Opens Monday; Majority of Nimrods to Seek Deer By RALPH BENNINGTON Times Sports Writer Git out the powder horn, bullit pouch and game sack, Paw, and dust off yer Caintuck rifle hits time to go a huntin'. The lingo, tools of the trade and conditions are much different today than they were back in the time of our forefathers but there is one thing that hasn't changed and that is the sport itself. THE PIONEERS never heard of a season on hunting and didn't have modern weapons, but they still went out with the same thing in mind as the modern Daniel Boones to bring home meat for the table. Thousands of Virginians and visiting neighbors will get their chance to supplement some items on the grocery list starting tomorrow when the hunting season general and deer season in particular opens throughout the Old Dominion.

Most of the nimrods will be out after venison since the whitetail season lasts only six days west of the Blue Ridge moun-11) but there are plenty of others who will be seeking grouse, quail, squirrels, rabbits and tur- key. The season will be open on all, plus bear, but the bruin hunters will not go into action in earnest until next week since dogs can't be used west of the Blue Ridge until after the deer season ends. years there will uniform For the first time, in many opening of the seasons both east and west of the Blue Ridge. Regulations differ, however, for the two sections. The eastern season on deer runs through January 5 while lasting only through Saturday west of the divide.

Another important regulation to be remembered is that dogs may be used to drive deer in the east, but are unlaw. ful in the western half of the state. Even with the hour's tied up at home only buck deer are legal west of the Blue Ridge. There is one very important exception to this regulation in Smyth County (south of U.S. Highway where deer of either sex may be taken on the final day, Saturday.

This is the only county west of the Blue Ridge which will have a special doe-season this year. Topping the list of unlawful regulations is another important one concerning hunting while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
